Abstract
We study supersymmetric Sp(2N) gauge theories with matter in the antis ymmetric tensor representation and F fundamentals, For F = 6 we solve the theory exactly in terms of confined degrees of freedom and a super potential, By adding mass terms we obtain the theories with F < 6 whic h we find to exhibit a host of interesting non-perturbative phenomena: quantum-deformed moduli spaces with N constraints, instanton-induced superpotentials and non-equivalent disjoint branches of moduli spaces, We find a simple dual for F = 8 and no superpotential, We show how th e F = 4 and F = 2 theories can be modified to break supersymmetry spon taneously and point out that the Sp(6) theory with F = 6 may be very i nteresting for model builders.
